Thank goodness I’ve only got two kids, or I would break the bank on these suckers.

They are SOLD OUT, so if you want to order one and start doubling up the days by the time you actually get it in the mail, you can get them at Amazon, but it will cost you an arm and a leg. And maybe a kidney.

{My husband was fortunate enough to get them at regular price, which still cost an arm.}

Setting sarcastic aside for about 3 seconds, this is actually a family tradition that we started awhile back, and my kids just LOVE making all these little Lego gifts each day. I’m usually a total cheap-wad only-will-pay-for-it-on-clearance gal, but we’ve decided that this is a tradition we’ll gladly spend the money on. Gotta pick and choose these things.

So, um, ya, I’m not as crazy crafty all.the.time. as you think.

And totally OT here, but I didn’t even know what an Advent Calendar was until I was well into my 20s. I never had one growing up.

If you choose to forgo the Advent Calendar tradition all together, your children won’t be scarred for life. At least I wasn’t.

But I sure felt stoopid the first time I heard someone say “Advent Calendar” and I said, “What is that?” (and I was like 25).

And just last month I felt even more stoopid when my neighbor complained about all the feral cats in the neighborhood and I said, “What’s a feril cat?” (And I’m 30).

I used your code at Silhouette last night!! After I didn’t win any of the give-a-ways *shock*, I went back and forth and couldn’t decide. Finally I just did it. Merry Christmas to me!!!! I will have to wait to play because it is a present from hubby, but I’m sure it will be worth it!!!!

Welcome to House of Hepworths! This blog chronicles my journey turning a basic builder-grade house into our custom dream home. I do most of the work myself, and I share the process with you to hopefully inspire you to tackle projects in your home. I write about anything related to sprucing up our home, whether it be painting, crafting, or hanging moulding, or sewing drapes or duvets. I will occasionally throw in a recipe or two, but only if they are really yummy. To learn more about me, my family, and my blog, visit my "about" page. Check out additional top Pinterest projects.
